Obama's church service ends with "Forward" chant http://wapo.st/VgQ1mQ #inaug2013
Sermon uses Obamas Forward theme
Metropolitan AME Churchs Rev. Ronald E. Braxton used President Obamas campaign theme of Forward in his sermon Sunday morning, as the president and his family looked on from the pews.
The scripture for the service was from Exodus the parting of the Red Sea. Comparing the president and this country to Moses and the children of Israel, Braxton said it was a situation where forward is the only option.

When President Obama and his family arrived at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church at about 9:45 a.m, the gospel choir was already singing. Obama was introduced by Pastor Ronald E. Braxton, the senior pastor at the church. When first lady Michelle Obama was welcomed by Pastor Marie P. Braxton, the crowd rose and sang Happy Birthday. The first lady turned 49 on Thursday.
